I like your thinking here. I disagree on the Calvin Pryor and Ed Reynolds rankings. I think Bucannon should be higher than they are.

I really like Deone Bucannon, but do you think he could play more of a FS role than a SS? The only problem I see is that him and Burnett both seem more fit for a SS role, and this defense really needs a centerfield speedster in my opinion. Bucannons and HaHa's 40 times are pretty similar however.

Burnett isn't really a true SS either though. I think a pair of swing type S might be good in this defense as long as both are at least OK when used deep.

Flexibility is the key to disguise and more importantly it allows the coaches to adapt to the roster as it changes through the season. Drafting of flexible type players is a trend we have certainly seen for the Packers offense as well as defense.

NOTE: I'm basing these rankings off of players who are currently most likely to fall to us. For example, Jake Matthews, Blake Bortles, Sammy Watkins, and Kony Ealy are players who I have not ranked simply because they will not be on the board when we draft at 21. I have also ranked these players by the earliest round we would legitimately draft these players. For example, We're not drafting QB in the first, or RB in the 4th. Also, for positions of greatest need(ie: TE, S, OLB, ILB,) and WR I've gone 10 deep.

I've been physically messed up (back, left knee, IR'd through 2014 season), so I haven't been putting effort forth in studying up on prospects. Plus we got the extra month this year. Got my quarterbacks almost done.

Thompson's only had two years where he has taken 1 OL -- 2011 & 2007. The rest of the time he's taken at least 2. Mostly around the 4th round, but he's got a healthy amount of 1-3 rounders. Should I take this to mean that you don't believe we're drafting offensive linemen until the 7th round, if at all?
